Growing up with fully indoctrinated Jehovah's Witness (JW) parents, they raised me with a leather belt in one hand to dole out punishment when a small child, a girl no less, would have sudden outbursts of anger since I refused to be a caged animal [only being allowed out of my bedroom when meals were served or as I got older, to go to school and be timed as to how long it took me to walk home] along with being taught a fantasy of a future world where I could ride all the horses I wanted to in lush green grass or open pasture to my heart's delight in a new system of things.
The JWs raise their children in a fantasy land like Disneyland, where a small boy can fly and tell wonderful adventure stories about pirates or a flying Nanny with magical gifts to save a family from strife and on the other hand, getting the boot in the behind when those same parents felt the child needed it in order to keep them obedient to the slave class, the so-called self-appointed Governing Body of JWs, the men in charge of this dark world of JWs where you are constantly trained with punishment and reward over and over again until you break mentally and physically under the pressure.
I witnessed first hand the abuse of other children in the prison camps called Kingdom Halls (KHs) of JWs, only to find out that my opinion about the religion or any opinion at all was met with harsh words and sometimes a harsh smack on the behind with a leather belt. Nothing but full obedience is expected with no independent thoughts or opinions allowed. You have to attend the three meetings per week and participate in the weekly door to door ministry work trying to recruit members into your same pit of despair. The meetings have been reduced to two per week since that third meeting was normally held in someone's home. The "Society" of the men in New York who are in charge of this religion stopped the meetings in the homes for various reasons. There were some liability issues as well as the need to get people to the KH's to put money in that KH contribution box. Oh yes dear reader, it really is all about the money. You cannot escape it. The JWs are no different from any evangelizers you see on TV or anywhere, it's all about how much money you can give each week to support a ministry already worth millions of dollars.
Persons who did not grow up in the JW fantasy world of pain and reward most likely will not understand what I am talking about; however, those persons raised in the harmful and demeaning religion will know exactly what I am talking about. Just do a search for JWs on the Internet and you will see various stories of pain and suffering at the hands of their own devout JW parents and later, the abuse that happens inside the KHs when adults have the audacity to question the religion they are funding through physical hard labor building and maintaining KHs and through their wallets.
What do you get in return from the JWs? A fantasy land, a future world of a paradise on earth for the majority of us humans with a certain figurative number in the Bible book of Revelation of 144,000 who are going to heaven who are virgins with their robes washed white in the blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ. Oh, the virgin part is figurative, since statistically, about 95 percent of all JWs are on multiple marriages, including the self-appointed anointed group of 144,000 [with about 99 percent of them have children thus proving they are not virgins since JWs do not believe in adoption since the money that goes to the kids should go to the JW society] that believe they are going to heaven when they die and serve alongside Jesus Christ. Yes, this is what the religion teaches. Oh, a few JWs set up group homes for money making purposes and take in homeless kids but those are frowned upon by the JWs since the JW leadership makes zero off of those operations since all your money is wasted on kids that would probably eventually leave the organization anyway thus resulting in no return on investment for the JW ruling class. Normally, JWs like to use and abuse their own flesh and blood yet there are horrific stories in the press where children adopted by JWs have been abused and removed from the home [ref: Eunice Spry of Great Britain].
There are scriptures that also mandate servants of God who have leadership responsibilities in the KH to be the husband to one wife and be faithful. As you may know, only men are appointed as servants in a KH with the women assigned various housekeeping duties by the male leadeship [literally, housekeeping as in vacuuming and cleaning bathrooms]. Well, for a short time, my particular KH tried to take that literally, meaning that no appointed Elder in the congregation could have any prior wives still living while married to their current wife or divorced. Since ALL of the Body of Elders [the leadership in each congregation] except my own father who was appointed as an Elder at that time, were divorced and had multiple marriages with their prior wives still living, some of the wives remarried, some did not. So, they decided to forget the scriptures and stated that it must be figurative [Titus 1:6; 1 Timothy 3:2]. No, I am not talking about bigamy as I am sure you know, I am speaking of a man legally divorced and who remarries. Well, that is not being faithful to your first wife and that is not having "one wife" in the Biblical sense unless the prior wives are dead. So there you go. The religion chooses what scriptures are literal and what are figurative to suit the elite class of self-appointed overlords of the congregation and of the religion itself headquartered in the New York area.

Yes, we know, the rich man and the poor man become equal in death. Every living thing on this planet eventually dies. I am sorry to reveal this to you, but the sooner you learn this the better off you will be. Why do you think the Biblical Adam and Eve were surrounded by animals? To teach them about the circle of life which ends in death. The same with plants, they all eventually die. The Bible speaks about a paradise in heaven after we die here on Earth. Many belief systems provide a hope of living as a spirit after death. That's fine, choose what makes you happy, however, you need to wake up and live for today or by the time you are old and gray you will have an empty life filled with regrets of the wonderful things you could have done in your younger days. Do not end up like that. Everyone wants a photo album filled with joy and happiness, not empty pages of a life not explored.
However, you can live in a fantasy world and pretend to have it all or that some almighty being in the heavens will grant your every wish sometime in the future while you sit and wait and the bills pile up around you or your living in the same apartment you had when you were 21 and the rent keeps going up but your meager paycheck stays the same since you never pursued a career to support yourself with the rising cost of living in this world. Oh, wait on God while you give and give to the JW religious group that was formed in our modern times yet they have a false claim they were formed in the first century providing zero proof since no proof exists. The foundations of the religion are based in Freemasons and the secret societies of the oldest families that rule this earth. Why do you think Disney movies are always fine with the JW culture? Because Walt Disney was believed to be a Freemason with ties to the elite families of this globe that ensured he had the money to form his dream of making animated films that soon became the Disney studios global empire. Quite a return on an investment that happened about 70 years ago.
Much like the JW religion, having foundations with the Rothschild family that would ensure the success of the church while profiting from lucrative real estate deals in Brooklyn Heights, with the latest sale of the Watchtower headquarters of almost half a billion dollars. Quite a return on an investment that happened about 100 years ago with many lucrative real estate deals happening all along in many parts of the globe. A tiny small religious movement does not achieve such heights. Only when they are funded by ties with their membership in secret societies that continue down to this day while they sell its membership a promise of a paradise on earth that hardly fits in with their existing real estate schemes and massive wealth they are acquiring right now on this earth while the JW membership struggles to make a living.
Step into life and do it now. I know it's frightening to leave a high control group that call themselves a Christian religion, but that's what the JWs are, a high control group designed to sell you a fantasy instead of helping you cope with reality. The JW leadership have the nerve to call persons who leave their cruel religion as demonized, mentally diseased, liars, and just want a life of debauchery. These are just more scare tactics designed to keep you immobile and terrified to move and take action to free yourself from a life of useless slavery.
Don't be afraid to walk away and start living your life no matter what your age. Obviously, if you are still living at home with your parents, you can seek help from trusted non-JW relatives or friends as you plan your life away from the mind numbing useless existence of being a JW slave for a book publishing company that has amassed great worldly treasures and wealth. Stop funding their dream of a life of luxury at the expense of slave labor and grabbing the dollars from its membership so they can travel the globe in style and plan a very wealthy retirement in the country of their choice. The Governing Body of men in New York and their corporate leadership have had their day. Time to cut all ties with that money making corporation masquerading as a Christian religion, start now, make a plan, write it down in a journal, and you will see your life unfold before your eyes. And yes, it's a beautiful life.
So you ask, what do I believe? To gain some peace and quiet hope, I often let my mind drift to an afterlife called the Elysian Fields where everyone lives by love, virtue and honor and any bad memories from my life here on Earth will be erased from my mind forever. It brings a smile to my face whenever I feel a bit sad about a life wasted behind the walls of the JW world, yet, I am happy to be finally free.
